SolarFoil

🌍 A Busy March for SolarFoil The past two weeks have been full of movement, connection, and recognition for SolarFoil—and we couldn’t be more proud. 🔸 Arnon Lesage, our CEO, traveled to Paris as part of the Dutch deep-tech delegation at Hello Tomorrow Global Summit. It was an inspiring moment to see SolarFoil recognized among some of the most promising startups in Europe, and to connect with international partners pushing the boundaries of innovation. 🔸 Yingying Tang, our CTO, represented SolarFoil at the SUN-PERFORM Consortium Meeting in Marburg. She shared key progress on our light-converting nanomaterials and how they operate in the realm of sustainable solar fuels, particularly in microalgae. It’s exciting to see our work resonate in the broader European research landscape. 🔸 Meanwhile, Carlo Maria Berca joined the ACID (Amsterdam Chemistry Network Chemistry Innovation Day) and career fair here in Amsterdam—connecting with driven students, entrepreneurs, and fellow innovators. There was a lot of interest in what we’re building at SolarFoil, and the energy at the event reminded us of how vibrant and forward-looking this community is. These moments reflect something important: SolarFoil is growing, not just in scale, but in presence. From European summits to local innovation hubs, we’re proud to see our team and our mission gaining traction. Here’s to the many collaborations, conversations, and steps forward still to come. #SolarFoil #DeepTech #HelloTomorrow #Sustainability #Nanomaterials #Innovation #CareerFair #ACID2025 #SUNPERFORM #Growth

🚀 Scaling Up: SolarFoil Moves to Kilo Production! 🚀 Every deep-tech company faces the challenge of scaling from R&D to production, and today, we’re proud to say that 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐅𝐨𝐢𝐥 has reached one of these milestones! We have successfully transitioned one of our nanomaterials into kilo production, with other recipes following closely behind in R&D. This marks a major shift from lab-scale synthesis to real-world applications, bringing us closer to commercialization. Even more exciting, we now have functional demos of our foils embedded with SolarFoil materials! Seeing our technology in action is a major step toward integrating it into real-world applications. A huge thanks to Carlo Maria Berca, whose work has been instrumental in developing the process that made this scale-up possible. This milestone allows us to think bigger, move faster, and take the next step toward making our technology a reality. Stay tuned, because this is just the beginning! #SolarFoil #ScaleUp #DeepTech #Nanotechnology #Innovation #Sustainability

🚀 Kicking Off 2025 with Momentum & Big Plans! 🚀 As we wrap up the first weeks of 2025, it’s amazing to see how much energy and excitement is already surrounding SolarFoil. ✅ A Clear Vision for the Future: We gathered for a strategy meeting with our core team and partners and investors, mapping out where SolarFoil is headed over the next five years, and beyond. ✅ New Projects Taking Off: We’re thrilled to announce the launch of SUN-PERFORM, our HorizonEU project!This ambitious initiative brings together experts from Europe and Africa to advance solar fuels renewable energy produced directly from sunlight. Our kickoff meeting at Wageningen University & Research (WUR) set the stage for an exciting journey in nanotechnology. ✅ Expanding Our Team: We’re onboarding new interns across multiple projects, from chemistry to marketing, ensuring SolarFoil’s impact grows across different fields. ✅ Reaching New Audiences: We’re excited to explore social studies, outreach, and new collaborations, including our participation in a a lecture by Professor Marijn to engage students in fresh research about SolarFoil’s impact and potential. So much has happened, and we’re just getting started! Excited for what’s ahead and grateful to everyone contributing to our journey. A Huge Thank You To: 🔹 Our partners at UvA (Peter Schall, Jasmin Fisher Balil), UvA Ventures(Ross Gordon, Nasim Tavakoli, PhD, Wilmar van Grondelle), and UvA USP (Marijn Meijers) for their support and collaboration. 🔹 Our incredible SolarFoil team—Arnon Lesage, Yingying Tang, and Carlo Maria Berca—for pushing boundaries and making things happen.

How do you take a vision and turn it into reality? By building the right partnerships and taking action. SolarFoil took the next step by joining the 9th European Chemistry Partnering (ECP) Conference, a key event to address one of our biggest challenges: scaling up production. At ECP, we: 🔹 Connected with industrial partners in Germany that could support our scaling needs, providing the right infrastructure for future growth. 🔹 Engaged with industry leaders, sharing insights and exploring potential collaborations to accelerate development. 🔹 Spoke with investors interested in deep-tech and sustainable chemistry, reinforcing the value of what we are building. 💡 One key takeaway were the insightful Masterclass. Especially the masterclass Industrial Parks as innovation Hubs for Sustainability organized by Professor Thomas Bayer and Scalable B2B sales process organized by Dr. Holger Geissler, giving a lot to process for the future.  This event was not just about networking, but mainly about laying the groundwork for the next stage of SolarFoil’s growth. The conversations, insights, and connections made here will be crucial as we move forward. A big thanks to everyone who engaged with us at ECP—exciting times ahead! #SolarFoil #Upscaling #Chemistry #DeepTech #StartupGrowth #Innovation
